A small slice of New England

Springtime in February??

For Christmas I gave my friends and fellow gardeners something to get them through these tough last weeks of winter… Sunflowers… to grow! I saw the idea in a favorite catalog and just knew it was the perfect gift. Here is the description: “Put a smile on a gardener’s face when you give this delightful grower’s kit. It includes seeds for growing cheerful “Big Smile” sunflowers, and our exclusive Intervale Organic Compost, made with a certain Vermont-made gourmet ice cream! Grow right in the familiar-looking container!”

Heck, I just love Ben & Jerry’s and the look after they unwrapped it and wondering why the container was warm… was priceless!

I just got an update from Jess and here is her project’s latest: sprouts!
